According to Wu, Plasma co-founder Paul clarified rumors about XPL, emphasizing that both the team and investors' XPL are locked for 3 years (1-year cliff), with no members selling. Among the current team of about 50 people, only 3 have previously worked at Blur or Blast, while other members come from companies like Google, Facebook, Square, Temasek, and Goldman Sachs. He stated that simply labeling them as 'ex-Blast' is inaccurate. Additionally, Plasma has not partnered with Wintermute for market-making nor signed any service contracts, and their knowledge of Wintermute's XPL holdings is the same as the public's. https://www.(wublock123.com)/index.php?m=content&c=index&a=show&catid=6&id=49640
